Sue Herring , LPC, LMHC

Sue Herring is a licensed counselor practicing in Florida and South Carolina with 27 years of professional experience. She holds LPC and LMHC credentials - LPC stands for Licensed Professional Counselor and LMHC stands for Licensed Mental Health Counselor - reflecting her formal training and licensure to provide mental health care.

Her work also addresses life transitions, anger, and the complex process of forgiveness. She approaches each person as the expert of their own story and looks for strengths that can be used to move forward.

Before entering the counseling field Sue studied Fine Arts and worked in the restaurant industry. In her forties she returned to school, earning a BA in Psychology from Florida State University and an MA in Counseling Psychology from Troy University. She is trained in a variety of therapeutic methods, including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Emotionally-Focused Therapy with Matrix Reimprinting, Rapid Resolution Therapy, Narrative Exposure Therapy, and Neurofeedback.

Sue does not use a one-size-fits-all model; she tailors her approach to meet each person’s unique needs and offers support and empowerment to those seeking meaningful change.

Therapeutic Approaches and Online Care

Sue Herring draws on Client-Centered Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, and Emotionally-Focused Therapy to guide online work in ways that align with each person’s needs. Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes listening and empathy so the client’s own goals and strengths shape the pace and direction of change - it is helpful for improving self-understanding and coping with life transitions.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying and shifting unhelpful thoughts and behaviors; it is often effective for managing anxiety, depression, and patterns that interfere with daily functioning. Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) helps people notice and reshape emotional responses within relationships, making it useful for couples work and intimacy-related concerns.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. Sue will collaborate with each person to determine which methods fit their goals, preferences, and the issues they want to address, adjusting the plan over time as needed.

Online sessions can take place by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging, offering flexibility for schedules and locations. These options make it easier to maintain continuity of care and to access support from licensed professionals when in-person appointments are difficult to arrange.
